At the digital video course the other day, one of the participants was telling us how she had used digital blue cameras to record her children presenting their own weather forecasts, which they had researched and created. All agreed that this was a really great idea, so when I read about the Met Office’s Interactive Weather Presenting kit on the fantastic Ictopus site, I felt I had to pass it on.
The kit consists of a CD ROM with PowerPoint slides, sets of weather symbols, links to current weather data and an image bank, to which students can add. It is aimed at key stages 2-4. It looks to be a really useful resource - and, of course, you could film it!
The website warns that stocks are currently running low, but new stock is expected and will be delivered when available. All you need to do is complete the online form and the CD will be delivered (to UK addresses) free.
